Johns Hopkins University: More than 3,000 deaths in Corona in 24 hours in the United States

The United States recorded the death of more than 3,200 people and the infection of another 250,000 with the emerging coronavirus in 24 hours, according to data published by Johns Hopkins University.

Data from the university, which is considered a benchmark in tracking injuries and deaths resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, showed that the United States recorded 247,544 new cases of the virus and 3,249 deaths resulting from the epidemic.

It is the fourth time in 10 days that the daily death toll from Covid-19 in the United States has exceeded 3,000 deaths.

The number of new daily cases from the epidemic continues to break records in the United States, and the number of Covid-19 patients admitted to hospitals continues to rise. Currently, there are more than 114,000 Covid-19 patients in hospitals, according to data constantly updated by the US Department of Health.

And health authorities expected this increase after the trips made by millions of Americans to celebrate Thanksgiving on November 26, despite calls that were directed to them to stay home.

And if the epidemiological situation is improving in the Midwest, where the number of new daily infections and the number of hospital cases is declining, then the epidemic is spreading at an accelerated rate in the west and northeast of the country, according to the “Project Covid Tracking, “which tracks data daily across the country.

More than 17 million people have been infected with the emerging coronavirus in the United States since the outbreak began. However, the actual result may be higher due to the lack of widespread testing in the first stage.

On Monday, the United States launched a large-scale vaccination campaign aimed at first vaccinating 20 million people in December.

This campaign, which will be the largest of its kind in the history of the United States, aims in its first phase to immunize health care providers, who are at the highest risk of contracting the virus, who number about 21 million people, and inmates in nursing homes, which number around three million people.

The campaign aims to vaccinate 100 million people by spring and the entire population of the United States by summer, but things will depend a lot on Americans’ confidence in the vaccine.

According to epidemiologists, more than 70 percent of people need to be vaccinated to stop the spread of the epidemic.

On Thursday, a panel of American consultants recommended granting an emergency license to Moderna’s vaccine against Covid-19, in a step that paves the way for the start of the process of distributing six million doses of this vaccine, starting in this weekend.
